To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, PAUL M. Pnaon, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bridgeport, county of Fail-field,- State of Connecticut,have invented an Improvement in Radiator Hangers, of which thefollowingis a specification.

This invention relates to cially for supporting a radiator on a verticalwall. It is an object of the invention toiprovide animp'roved hanger ofthis type which comprises few and simple parts and. so. will becomparatively cheap to manufacture and not liable to get out of order. v"Itis also an object of the invention to provide an improvedhanger'which maybe easily applied to walls already built and which whenonce applied will be very secure'and hold considerable weight withoutpulling out. l v a i It is a further object of the inventionto provide ahanger which will be inconspicuous and practically invisible. after theradiator is suspended therefrom and also one which. will providesufficient adjustment thatit will accommodate practically allthe-standard radiators now generally in use.

With the foregoing and other objects in view. I have devised theconstructionillus-- trated in the accompanying drawing, mi

whichv v Fig. 1 is a front elevationof a radiator supported on myimproved hanger.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section thereof immediately forward of thehangershowing the method of securing the same tea-wall.

Fig. 4 is a. transverse section substantially on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.i

Fig. 8 is a plan View of the radiator sup port. j

Fig. 9 is an edge view of the plate shown in Fig. 7, and b Fig. 10 is anelevation of the suspending Referring particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, thenumeral 10 indicates a standard type of radiator adapted to be suspendedfrom a wall. My hanger comprises a flat metal plate a hanger espe-'tending 11 havin an upturned flange 12 at one end and an elbngatedtransversely extending slot 13 adjacent the other end. This plate isadapted to be-inserted in the joints between two adjacent horizontalrows of bricks. The I plate may be=built into the wall when the bricksarelaid as shown in Fig. 2, in which case theflupper brick 14 ispreferably laid directly on the plate with the flange 12 exinto thejoint. back of this brick, and

the en of theiplate providedwith an elongated slot projecting, outwardlyfrom the face of the wall. 1 i

If the plate is to be attached to, a wall already built the mortarbetween two ad.

jacent 'rows of'bricks, as shown at 15 in Fig. a 1 4. is dug outto, asufiicient depth for insertion sired.v ;In this form of mounting,wlienthe.

weight-of the radiator is applied to the pro jectmg end of the plate,the flange 12 is forced into or against the brick or mortar as the casemay be and hold the plate very se-. curelyin position. It will beevident that when the weight of the radiator is applied to the plate itwill be practically impossible to dislodge-the same. 7 j The'radiatorsupport comprises a metal plate 16 shaped substantiallyas shown in Figs.2,5, and 8 with a recess 17 preferably V-shaped in its upper edge toform-a seat of the flange 011 the plate'to the extent defortheconnecting flanges or unions 18 be tween the radiator sections. It isalso preferredtoform a recess 19 in this plate real.

wardly of theseatqfor the radiatorso that this seat may be raised withrespect to the sired. The plate or support 16 is also provided with anopening 20 to the rear thereof and below the recess 17 to receive a-bolt21;

through the opening20 and-also inserting the threaded. end of the-boltthrough elongated slot 13. after the plate 11 has been placed inposition, andapplyingthenut 24, l the radiator support 16 will besuspended from the plate llwith its inner upright edge 25 against thesurface of the wall. The radiator may now be placed with the connectionbetween the sections seated in the recess 17 and will be securelymounted on the wall.

It willbewapparent the I height of the support 16 may be easily adjusted bymeans of'the nut '24. In mount-- ring thesuspending bolt in position Ipr'ef erably place a washer 27"between'the nut and the topof the plate11. i

In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6 I have it formed the suspending plate28 corresponding to theqplate 11 in Figs. 1 and 250 that it maybesecuredto' a wooden frame construction. This plate! is bent at substantially'. right angles intermediate its end'swith the upright portion 29provided with suitable. openings for securing means, suchasboltsor-screws 30, adapted to attach the same to. the upright woodwork31, the hori- ,.zontal portion 32 of the plate-28 which projectsoutwardly from the face of the wall beingprovided withthe transverseslot 13 to receive the bolt 21 as in the first form.

It'will he -apparent from; the foregoing thatiin the form shown in Figs.2- and 4 the greater the weight ofthe radiatorthemore securely :will-vthe plate 11 and the flange thereon engage the brickwork and be seadated to be secure curedin position therein. It will also be apparentthatall the adjustments required are providedythat' the whole hangercomprises'very few parts which are ver sim recess at itsup er end toreceive aradiator and -an openlng extending transversely ,th'erethroughrearwardly of said recess, a

hooked bolt extending through said opening and said slot in the firstmentioned plate,

and aunt on said bolt above said plate. 2. A radiator hanger comprisinga plate adapted to be inserted between two adjacent horizontal rows ofbricks in a wall, said platehaving an upturned flange on its inner endto engage the brick and a free end adapted to project horizontally fromthe face of the wall, and a radiator support suspended from theprojecting portion of said plate, therear edge of the second mentionedplate being adapted when in supporting position to engage the verticalsurface of the wall andbeing free and unrestrictedagainst lateralmovement. I .3. A radiator hanger comprising a flat plate adapted-to beinserted between two, adjacent horizontal" rows of brick in a wall,saidplate having an upturned flange on its inner end to engage the brickand a free end adapted to project horizontally from the face of the waland having a transversely extending elongated slot there in, a radiatorsupport'comprising a cured to said said slot.

4. A radiator hanger comprising a plate plate and extending throughhaving an upturned flange at its inner end and adapted to be insertedbetween two adjacent horizontal rows of bricks with the other endprojecting from the face of the wall and provided with a transverseslot, a

radiator support comprising an upright plate having alseat for aradiator in its upper.

edge and provided with an opening, a

hooked bolt extending through said opening and slot whereby the plate issus ended withan upright edge against the the wall, and a nut on thebolt above the first mentioned plate.

5. A radiator hanger comprising a plate having'an upturned flange at itsinner end and adapted to beinserted between two ad ,jacent horizontalrows of bricks with the other and projecting from the face of the walland provided with a transverse slot, a radiator support comprising an 11right plate having a seat for a radiator in its upper edge and providedwith an o ening, a hooked bolt extending through sai opening and slotwhereby the upright plate is suspended with an upright rear ed e againstthe face of the wall, said rear e ge of the 1 uprigh'typlate being freeand unobstructed against lateral movement, and a nut on the bolt abovethe first mentioned late.
